Founder and Chief Business Strategist & Advisor at Power Heist | Former CFO | Healthcare Executive | Financial Strategy Expert
After forging a successful career as a CFO at powerhouses like HCA Healthcare and UCSF Health, I realized that the key to sustainable success isn’t just hustle, it’s about balance, and where to focus your energy, especially if your mind thinks and processes a little bit differently. With a pocket full of Fortune 500 cookies I learned along the way, I now help other neurodiverse, creative-visionary entrepreneurs master the game of business without sacrificing themselves in the process. Experienced in financial strategy, operational efficiency, and team leadership within the healthcare industry.

Projects

$4B Capital Project Business Plan

While at UCSF Health, I led the efforts in preparing a $4B new hospital business plan For the hospital of the future.
